2019 Silverado Custom Trailboss: The No-Frills Off-Roader

Sponsored Links

Chevrolet likely answered a lot of wishes with the introduction of the 2019 Silverado Custom Trailboss. We say that because the Custom Trailboss is a no-frills off-road oriented pickup truck from the factory.

No, it’s not Colorado ZR2 levels of capability, but the 2019 Silverado Custom Trailboss does include a handful of goodies and should boast a fair price tag; the Custom Trailboss falls under Chevy’s “high value” pillar of pickups. The new trim features a 2-inch suspension lift and the Z71 off-road package standard. The truck also packs locking rear differential, skid plates, Rancho shocks, 18-inch wheels and Goodyear Duratrac off-road tires.

The front fascia also sports a different grille with “Chevrolet” spelled out across and no bowtie badge.

We’re quite interested to see how Chevrolet will price the affordable off-roader and how it will compare to the 2019 Silverado LT Trailboss. We imagine the LT Trailboss will include additional creature comforts over the Custom Trailboss.

The 2019 Silverado Custom Trailboss is part of Chevrolet’s strategy to build a truck for every price and persona. The brand will offer eight separate trims when the truck goes on sale this fall.

It’s the most sensible choice for someone that wants a modern trucks that they can actually use offroad. I know a guy with a 2017 Raptor that barely takes it offroad because it was so expensive he doesn’t want to accidentally beat it up or break something.

I don’t think they would spend the millions to engineer a special frame that could accomodate an extra cab long bed version. That a lot of money for the 10 or so trucks they would sell in that configuration.

Chevrolet needs a stereo that can compete with Fords BO Play system, from Harman and Bang & Olufsen. I was skeptical about their new stereo as I drive a BMW 330i with Harman Kardon and can attest to the quality of my stereo. So I went to a Ford dealer having listened to their Sony system on 2017 Raptors… it was flat and unremarkable. But the new B&O is far from this Sony. It is just as amazing as my B&W HK system. This ALONE will make my decision when buying my next truck. If GM/Chevrolet can’t get their act together and provide a high end sound system experience, I’ll by the Raptor.

A truck is for driving and transportation weather it be on or off road, towing or just an everyday driver. NOT for a stereo, you can very easily install an aftermarket stereo and speaker system. you’re not a true tuck person if the deciding factor is a stereo.

Chevy has completely hit the nail on the head with this one. The work trucks are always my first choice, usually just throw on a nice set of wheels and tires myself to get rid of the steelies w/small tires w/ts usually come with. With this, its good to go, and even more so
